“Take wine service unit to Portland for service”
What does this involve? Transport means, etc. Perhaps, if I need to ask, I may not qualify, but asking, nevertheless …
Help in other areas forthcoming…
Hi Brigitte,
Sorry for the delay replied — we aren’t sure we will use the wine service unit — but if we can get it fixed we likely will. Give an email if you are interested in taking the unit which can fit in the back of a large SUV.
